About Me

I am a chemistry librarian but I studied as a chemist (once upon a time). I also enjoy cooking and with the relatively new field of "molecular gastronomy" exploding on the interwebs, I thought there was some call for explaining the chemistry of everyday cooking as well.
Who is this blog for? Anyone who is interested in the why's behind the recipes - young and old.
